Chapter Twenty:

"Sometimes you are impossible Captain." Aikera said.

"Now I'm your captain." Dylan asked.

"You did just make me your medical officer right. Or did I hear you wrong?" Aikera said as Harper came to stand next to her. Dylan sighed.

"I swear insanity must be a new survival trait." Dylan said walking away. Rommie followed him as Beka and Tyr followed Aikera and Harper to Orion.

"Why are you two following?" Harper asked as they entered the cargo hold.

"Because I want to meet this Orion." Beka said.

"I am keeping Aikera out of trouble." Tyr said. Aikera started laughing.

"Tyr you two are trouble." Beka said. They entered the ship.

"Orion." Aikera said causing the A.I. to materialize in front of them.

"Yes captain?" She asked.

"This is Harper, he'll be the one to build your avatar if he chooses to. Like I said before, no guarantees." Aikera said sitting down on a stool at the kitchenette bar. Harper looked at the A.I. in front of him. She tilted her head at him almost daring him to make a wise crack at her.

"This is like a Maru sized Andromeda." Beka said cutting Harper off as he opened his mouth. Harper looked at her. "What?" Beka said shrugging her shoulder's a little.

"You two are impossible." Tyr said to both Aikera and Beka.

"Yes I'll build you an avatar body." Harper said to Orion.

"Thank you Harper. Is that all captain?" Orion said shifting to look at Aikera.

"Yes it is." Aikera said causing the hologram to disappear quickly. "She's not very socialable yet."

"We'll have her interacting like a pro in no time." Harper said causing Aikera to smile. An image of Luna appeared in front of where Aikera was sitting.

"Mother, come." Luna said before disappearing.

"I don't think that I will ever get over how you two do that." Beka said as Aikera stood up. Aikera left the ship shrugging.

"Lock up when you're done." Aikera said laughing.

"Beka stop hanging out with her please." Harper joked as they left Orion. Aikera went to where Luna was while Beka and Tyr went to command and Harper went to machine with strict orders not to blow anything up again.
